Thanks, I'm both excited and nervous at the same time I've signed up to 3 now. I will see how it goes. I can always sign up for more later on

What are the chances of getting the same job with 2 companies? eg, say GR and RE both want you to visit X place on the same day. Could you do both or would you need to pick a company? I know this isn't likely to happen, but I'm curious!

Why would a company hire two mystery shopping companies to carry out their mystery shops? It wouldn't happen!

I think it could happen actually.

Someone hired by the company, and someone hired by another company to visit a competitor, which happens to be the first company.

It could happen, and I reckon it has happened, and continues to happen, albeit rarely.

Back on topic. I got an email back from gap about taking someone with you to the chicken places . It said theres no problem bringing someone with you as long as you only order whats on the list . If you order any extras you void the visit .

Oh, that's good to know! I thought that you had to do the visits alone, like the burger jobs.

I did a bank today for GFK and GR. I picked the GFK one up first and was hoping it would pop again on GR as I have done it before and it did. Easy money!:beer:

If it was say a phone shop, it would be fairly easy to make the scenarios line up - right?

I would combine both jobs as one if there was no purchase involved. If it was something like a pizza job, then there's no way that I'd make a claim to both companies for my expenses for the same meal purchase.

I'm so thankful that I picked up 5 of the small supermarket jobs today on TNS. Before I nabbed those I had a grand total of 1 job booked - my lowest since I started MSing at the beginning of May.

Interested to see that I'm not the only one not seeing a lot of work. I was hoping that it wasn't just me, as I had to cancel so many jobs when we had the flu that I was worried that it would look flakey.

I only have 4 MS jobs booked for the whole of August...
